Your step-by-step roadmap to earning all Trophies in Far Cry 5, including main campaign, cleanup, and Arcade Mode challenges. Get the Platinum!
Alright, so you're aiming for that shiny Platinum Trophy in Far Cry 5? Awesome! This guide is gonna break down the best way to snag every single achievement, making sure you don't miss a thing. We'll go through playing the story, cleaning up any missed bits, and even tackling the Arcade Mode. Let's get you that Platinum!
Step 1: Main Campaign Playthrough
Your first move should be to just play through the game normally. Seriously, just enjoy the story! You'll naturally unlock a bunch of story-related Trophies this way. While you're at it, try to knock out as many Side-Missions as you can – some of them have their own Trophies tied to them. Just a heads-up: for any story Trophies, you've gotta be the Host, or they won't count for you. Also, try to rope a friend into joining you for at least three missions; there's a Trophy for that! Oh, and try to be a bit stingy with your cash during this first run. Saving up will make a later Trophy much easier to grab.
Step 2: Campaign Cleanup
Once you've finished the main story and liberated all the islands, it's time to mop up anything you missed. Go back and finish any Side Missions you skipped. Make sure to chat with everyone you meet – there's a Trophy for talking to 50 different citizens! You'll also need to spend a good chunk of change: $50,000 on Vehicles and $1,000 on Clothes. A lot of the remaining Trophies in this phase are the miscellaneous ones. The good news is you don't need to 100% everything. For collectibles, grabbing just one of each type is enough for its Trophy, and the same goes for Cult Properties you find scattered around Hope County. By the time you're done with this step, you should have all the Campaign Trophies locked down.
Step 3: Arcade Mode
Now, let's dive into Far Cry 5's multiplayer, the Arcade Mode, to wrap things up. You'll need to hit Level 20 here. If you've played a good amount of the game already, this shouldn't take too long. To speed things up and grab an extra Trophy, make sure you're playing the 'Hero' mode as you level up. The trickiest Trophies in Arcade Mode involve winning matches on the 'featured' maps. If you're not boosting with a friend, it can take a while to find those official Ubisoft-made maps amongst the tons of player-created ones. Good luck!
